Having stayed at the Ritz Carlton, Penha Longa in Portugal, last year we felt we were pretty much in for the same again and booked this one for the last two weeks of August in order to be a bit more guaranteed of the weather... er, not quite.... Firstly, the weather was fantastic, and the hotel, pool, grounds and construction... more

Me and my lovely wife stayed their recently. She was pregnant and it was our last holiday before becoming parents. We had the best holiday of our life. Walking around the Hotel is a luxury alone. The Hotel is very special and it's really well done. There is no need to go far as you have so much to do... more

While attending a wedding, we discovered this new Ritz Carlton in Marbella. We already regularly use their hotels (have a great one in Dubai) but this one completely charmed us! Our friends had their wedding ceremony at the hotel´s a roman amphitheatre - outdoors - and it was beautifully decorated with a little bridge and superb flower arrangements everywhere. We... more

I stayed here for 5 days with my girlfriend and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a big palace with beautiful gardens and golf courses around.

The Villa Padierna is actually a Ritz hotel however it is only the prices which correspond with this name.

For example: the grounds abound with fountains everywhere you look and I personally thought that for a Ritz Carlton property, the staff could have taken better care of them. Some... more

To provide some context for our review: We are fortunate to be able to enjoy luxury standards on our frequent travels and can be considered high maintenance :-) In summary, this is a great hotel (particularly if you are a golfer). The rooms and public areas are of a high quality and the staff care about what they do. Well... more

We didnt stay here but did attend a wedding here. The hotel grounds are beautiful for a classical wedding. Fountains with rose petals in, ampitheatre for the ceremony with bridge over water. Courtyard for drinks, reception room with balconys, huge room for main reception. Food was good, staff very polite and even those that didnt speak english still managed to... more

Fabulous hotel. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The hotel is gorgeous. The housekeeping is amazing. This hotel is where you want to stay in Marbella. Taxis are a must, but it's worth it. The views are great. Very quiet and relaxing. A must. more
